My Favourite London Restaurants

Who doesn't like eating out? I like to try new restaurants,

here are some of my favourites in London M. Manze Pie & Mash is my all-time favourite food. When I lived in London, I used to go for pie & mash at lunchtime, if we weren't that hungry, we'd have mash and liquor, or if you went to the right shops, chips, and liquor. There are lots of pie & mash shops in London, but M. Manze is one of the more well-known shops. Don't turn your nose up at the "green stuff" it's delicious! The Bulls Head Hotel I love this venue. I've drank here, ate here, and the husband and I got married here. The food is delicious, if I go out for a roast dinner, this is first on my list. Aside from being a hotel and wedding venue, they 2 indoor bars, where you can eat, the main restaurant, and a gorgeous outside seating area with an outdoor bar, they are also super dog friendly. The Bulls Head is just outside London in the leafy suburb of Chislehurst. Gaucho The husband and I have tried a lot of steak restaurants in London and this is still my favourite. They have 12 restaurants in London and I think there are only 3 I haven't been to. They also have restaurants in Birmingham, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Leeds & Manchester. If you like a good Argentinian steak, then give them a visit. Smiths Restaurant The husband and I on one of our first dates to the Wapping restaurant, they also have a restaurant in Essex. The Wapping restaurant overlooks the River Thames and is just a stone's throw from Tower Bridge. It's such an elegant restaurant and the food is heavenly. I will usually pick this restaurant if I am asked where I want to go for my birthday dinner. Clos Maggiore Winner of the most romantic restaurant in London and it certainly lives up to its name. I am very lucky to have eaten here on a few occasions. From the exquisite food and endless wine list to the beautiful cherry blossom-filled conservatory, this intimate restaurant is perfect for those special occasions.

Is Success The Thing That Scares Us? Or Is It Failure We Really Fear?

Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm. - Winston Churchill If you fear failure, the above quote from Winston Churchill can be seen as comforting, failing at something can be a huge blow to our egos. But what if you aren't scared to fail? What if succeeding is the thing that scares you most? Failure is something that some of us are quite prepared for. Before we've even set out to do something, that voice in your head is already saying "it probably won't work out". We often prepare ourselves for the worst outcome to protect our fragile egos. If we fail, things will stay as they are and whether we are happy with our current situation or not, it is a lot easier to stay in a familiar situation. Of course, we don't want to fail, we'll feel rubbish about it, sometimes it means we can't do the things we had hoped for at the time, but ultimately, nothing has changed, and we can usually fall back into our old routin...

5 Articles on Medium That Helped Me Overcome Self Doubt

If you read yesterday's article , you’ll know that I’m back from holiday and rather than being full of self-assurance, I'm battling with self-doubt. Yesterday morning, I begrudgingly got out of bed, looked through my to-do list and very quickly decided it was going to be another slow day, reminding myself that it was perfectly ok, although I wasn’t entirely convinced. I decide to read some articles on medium, which I find to be much better for my mind than scrolling through Tik Tok (which I did for the first time this week for longer than I care to admit!) I’m so thankful I did. I came across Alex Mather’s article If you work for yourself and have self-doubt read this “emotions of doubt, are based not on reality, but on our thoughts.” Yes! Everything swimming through my head was all about a failure that hadn’t yet happened, after all, how can you fail at getting work as a writer when you haven’t even submitted any work or made any applications??
